'''Attraction''' is a type of feeling that sparks interest in a particular person. Among some people, it is useful to think of attraction in terms of particular types or categories. Other people do not find this helpful, and some do not experience attraction at all. Using or applying one of these concepts does not necessarily imply using all of the others.

==History==
Naming and differentiating between specific subtypes of attraction has been popularized by the asexual community in the early 2000s.<ref>[https://theacetheist.wordpress.com/2019/05/17/a-mini-history-of-different-types-of-attraction-in-the-ace-community/ A Mini History of Different Types of Attraction in the Ace Community]</ref>
As early as 2003, the FAQ page of the Asexual Visibility and Education Network mentioned that some asexual people may experience emotional or romantic attraction.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20030225191733/http://www.asexuality.org/bigfaq.htm AVEN FAQ (archived from 2003)]</ref>
Other subtypes, such as aesthetic and sensual, also developed around or before 2006.<ref>[http://wiki.asexuality.org/w/index.php?title=Attraction&oldid=1792 Attraction - AVENwiki (archived from 2006)]</ref>
